Super Bee's had a standard "power bulge" hood to set apart from other Coronets. In 69 & 70 distinctive Ram Charger hood scoops were offered as well. Super Bee's used the mid line Coronet trim level so they always had carpet & never a "taxi cab" interior. 1968 used 2dr coupes only adding 2 dr hardtop as well in 1969, unlike Road runner never a convertible.
